The inquest was suspended part way through when Atkins agreed to lead police to the remains in the Royal National Park under the protection of immunity from prosecution.

The successful recovery of those bones in May was what the Leveson’s had prayed for and for that reason today they said there was a small amount of justice.

“In a small way yes, in a small way yes… Our goal was to bring Matt home that has been done, Atkins gets off scott free. The plus is at least thanks to all of you the publicity, the media, his picture is out there, people know what he looks like,” Mr Leveson said.

Mrs Leveson would have liked justice in court but is coming to terms with the decision they made.

“(Matthew's) the one that mattered, Atkins doesn't matter. Our son's the most precious thing to us and to his brothers, why would we worry about Atkins?” she said.

“We were forced into a corner, we would have liked both but we were forced into this corner and Matty comes out first every time.”

Mrs Leveson later said that Akins “is not worth words, he's nothing to us”. Mr Leveson added Atkins “is no longer of any use to our family alive”.

The coroner also recommended NSW Police officials recognise the Leveson’s for their assistance in the investigation.
